65 nassau blue vs 66 vs 67
I have a question regarding the blues from 65-66 & 67.
My black book lists the 65 Nassau Blue as code FF.
The 66 Nassau Blue code is 976
The 67 MARINA BLUE code is also 976
Are all these 3 years the same color? the reason I ask, is I have a chance to buy a 65 hardtop that is Nassau Blue (code FF), but I am wondering if it is the same as my 66 which is code 976. Anyone out there have any thoughts about these three colors?

65-66 is the same color. 67 is a different shade from the factory. but chances are the shade sprayed on you car is not the same on that hard top/ it all depends on how the paint was mixed and how it was sprayed.

Don't go by the 3-digit sales code - go by the paint manufacturer's mix code for each year, shown here:
